‘FREE SCHOOL BOOKS. Fwhole soul 0i a man ls 601111300801

Government oi NewBruns- ‘ wick has taken a long 5W9 1°!‘- wlfd in providing iree school books up to and incllidinB the 8m Gmde for _ the pupils of that Province- This provision is as from the be- ‘hlnlng oi the present school term, mu as} number o! the pulllllllld “my provided themselves with books the price will be refunded- _ The free school books would W?!" tnbe a natural concomitant oi free schools. The purchase oi these has always been a heavy burden upon the poor and especially upon large families, and has in many cases been a discouraging factor in giving the children the full advan- taggs of our free school system. Objection might be raised by those to whom the purchase oi school books is not a heavy burden that they have, no right to provide school books ior the children of other people, but this argument would apply with equal force to free schools. Yet education is recogniz- ed as a community and national matter-a matter to which all have n right to contribute and from which all must be benefited.

The movement in New Brunswick will be watched with interest, per- haps with envy, by some oi the other provinces; and no doubt thom of them which see their way clear to adopt a similar course will endeavor w follow the good ex- ample. it speaks well not only for the Government but ior the fin- ancial position of the Province. and we‘ congratulate the Baxter Gov- ernment on their initiative and the sound business ability which en- ables them to carry out this pro- gram.

LABOR AND CHARACTER.

SOCIAL workeTa-re emphasizing more and moremthe importance oi recognizing labor as a beneficent iactor in the developmentof char- acter. It is upon the daily tasks of life, as these are performed well or ill, that the happinesQ of the in- dividual’ and the welfare of the community ultimately depend. Dis- cussing this side of labor in a re- cent issue oi the Federal Council Bulletin, Mr.. Whiting Williams says truly that a man's job ls more than a means oi livelihood; it lshis contribution to society.’ ‘the thing that gives him a place in the world ci men. The tremendous connec- tion between a man's daily job and what he thinks of the whole range oi values. political, social and mor- al, is apt to be overlooked. Mr. Williams believes. by our spiritual leaders. He says furthcr:—

"While the average pastor v-is per- fectly willing to believe that his job ll a highly constructive one. the performance oi which gives him a spiritual thrill and makes him feel that he is contributing to the well- being of the world, he iails to un- deletand that there is no member oi his church who does not feel the same way about his job. He talks in his people as ii they were un- iortunates, as ii they were doing things not worth doing. ior the purpose oi earning money. This means that he simply cuts himself ofl from touching the lives oi the people where they live - namely, In their work."

This statement as applied tothe Individual liie oi a big city, may be token with some reservation. Too ciien the daily grind. in sweat lhops and huge manuiacturies, is calculated to give anything ‘but a lpiritual thrill to the worker. But in the liie oi,an agricultural com- munity such as Prince Edward Illlnd there is ample justification Q insistence upon the dignity oi the humbleot task well performed. barns’ universal popularity is due he much to Iill democratic empha-

FIRST FRUITS.

THE first fruits of the recent Mar-

itime conferences in Toronto and Montreal are likely to be reap- ed by the farmers oi Gloucester County, New Brunswick. We learn from our New Brunswick exchanges that a carload of live poultry was shipped to Montreal last week. That Montreal was selected as the market these birds was not only because it was somewhat near- crthan Boston, but also because oi the present eiiort to have Maritime goods find their market in Upper Canada, following the recent con- ierences.

The carload was arranged by the Maritime Poultry and Egg Ex- change and the shipping oi the birds was supervised by an ofiicial oi the Provincial Department oi Agriculture. The Montreal firm to which the carload was consigned sent its own representative to feed the birds “in transit.

This will be a pointer to our ‘farmers, boards of trade. and De-

partment of Agriculture. _-_._<-Q§M THE- AGITATOR.

T is a matter oi common know-

ledge now that the alleged dis- content among the miners who came from Great Britain to assist in the Canadian harvest was stir- red up by a number of com- munist agitators who accompanied them directly ior the purpose of making trouble. The movement of miners from Great Britain to Can- ada was engineered ior the pur- pose of relieving congestion among laliorers in the mines. The com- munistic idea appears to have been to compel the mine owners by strik- es or otherwise to increase wages. The relief proposed by the British Government in finding occupa- tions elsewhere for the unemployed miners was a movement in the right direction. and so far as it has Bone has already proved an advan- tage. . As a matter oi fact there was very little discontent among the miners who came over. The great majority of them were quite snug. fled with the positions they ob- tained and with the wages paid. The agitators, it is true. stirred up a few who were easily stirred and succeeded in persuading them to go back to Great Britain. The stories oi discontent among and the ill usage accorded the min- ers were circulated throughout the British Isles ior the purposg p; preventing further migration, but the inwardness oi these stories has W" 5° entirely exposed that it is not expected that much harm will result from them. The agitators have been iound out and thorough- ly discredited.

It is in be regretted that even in Canada the agitator is still a force and there are always those who are ready to be turned from the path oi common sense and honest 155°? by soap-box orators and mis- chiei-makers. The agitator should be but in his place and ior the Canadian brand oi agitator the piece is outside oi Canada.

When conditions are obviously wrong it is perfectly proper to ex- pra- discontent and to seek by nuns ior a remedy. ‘Un-

Notes by .the Way

FINLAND has a prohlbltory law,

which as irl the United States, was first enacted as a war measlue. But Finland was then a. part oi the Russian ,.‘ And the Finns had been well educated in temper- ance principles before that. They are. moreover, a strong and erillght- ened race oi people. Alfred Pearce Dennis tells about them in tile dat- est issue of Scribnefs. He visited Finland in July last. ‘Do Mr. Den- his’ pen we are indebted. He tells that they are a stalwart people, strong in their love oi liberty and although they had been for cen- turies subject to Russian despotism, education is so general among them that illiterates are about as scarce as hen's teeth.

The Finns gained their liberty after the war and set up a Parlia- ment of their own. They were the first Europeans to grant com- plete suffrage to women, and are democratic enough to boast that a barefoot legislator sits in their Parliament. To these people Prohibition had come overnight by edict of the Czat. but it was con- tinued by the will oi the people as a legal enactment and at first it worked well. However, the diiilculty of enforcement soon became appar- ent. Finland is set in the midst of an archipelago oi thousands of small islands. It has a long coast- line, deeply indented and fringed with a heavy forest cover, giving every facility for liquor smuggling. And the. fishermen soon turned liquor smugglers, whole villages of them, while alcohol grew more plentiful and fish scarcer.

The captain of {he rum-chasing fleet told Mr. Dennis that his patrol boats usually capture five or six smuggling boats per week. This is only a, trifle to the smugglers, so numerous hre they, and up to all the tricks that are known to ille- gal traffic on this side of the ocean, along with one or two more which we need not describe. Smuggling is so-easy and profitable that it has killed the home-brew industry, which before prevailed. Potato al- cohol can be brought into Finland cheaper and better than the domes- tic grain alcohol can be illegally distilled.

In 1922 a commission was named w study the effects of, the law, in view of the heavy cost of _en_force- ment. The commission sat for four years and its labors were enormous. One of the three ponderous volumes containing its report gives the re- sult of 9,000 questionaires addres- sed to the business and labor or- ganizations, captains of industry, welfare officers and the like. Taken all together the responses indicated that 31.4 per cent. judge the results as beneficial; 31.3 per cent. judge the results harmful- rather than helpful to temperance; 37.4 per cent. judge that Prohibition has neither improved nor worsened the situation. The replies also indicate that the drink evil has increased among the youth oi the country, while the hard drinkers show less than their former addiction to al- coho].

In OIIIL respect the appraisal 0i Prohibition by the people of Fin- land closely resembles that in Prince Edward Island. The wets say that Prohibition, designed to redllce alcohol consumption has increased it; that it has bred a class oi law-breakers and convert- ed a population of honest fishermen into sneaks and smugglers, and that the state's liquor excise revenues have been fiung away to enrich the bootlegger. The drys respond that patience is needed, that the right thing has been done and that right will prevail. The law-respecting Finns do their best to enforce Pro- hibition, as Mr. Dennis thinks. Many who voted for Prohibition in Prince Edward Island are iar from doing their best either to enforce it or to obey it.

The spiritualists In England are combining to assert their rights. with so many notables in their ranks including Sir Oliver Lodge, Bir Conan Doyle and others, they are unwilling to have their medi- ums classed with iortune tellers. iakirs and other disrcputables who are liable to arrest and punishment under the present law. They want

ada, but the remedy lies not in magnifying the discontent but in seeking a solution. A movement at

. present in England seeking co-op-

eration between employed and em- ployers is in the right directlonior neither labor nor capital can auc- eeed by coercing the other. Mutual

GOOD NEWS FOR SUFFEBERS WITH INDIGESTION

Perhaps you have been a suflerer with indigestion for some time and after “doctorlng" yourself have con- sulted one or more physicians re- garding the ailment. _

Finally you have had an X ray meal and learn that you have no cancer or ulcer. ,

You are relieved in mind but still suiier with indigestion.

Your doctor has suggested a test

draw from the stomach again in an liour. He wants to get an idea of how much work your stomachs muscular walls do. and how well your stomach juice, with its hydro- chloric acid, does its work.

You have likely heard oi the test meal or breakfast that is given to a patient and then removed from the stomach one hour afterwards by means of a stomach tube.

The usual meal has been what is known as Ewalds test breakfast, consisting of 1%- glasses of water.

Latterly, oroTnary alcohol has been used, and just about the time this was becoming popular, another research man has been able to show that ordinary cabbage juice was bet- ter than either the toast or the al- cohol meal.

Dr. W. Orlowski uses a little over a pint of fresh undiluted cabbage juice and a very thin tube, and after withdrawing the cabbage juice from the stomach‘ he is able to ex- ‘amine it with much less difficulty than when the toast or bread meal- is used.

The tube is so thin that the pat- ient is able to swallow it easily and let it remain ill place until tllc cab- bage juice is withdrawn ironl the stomach again.

Further, as the juice contains no solid particles it’ can be withdrawn easily and rapidly through the small tube.

The digestive juice and the cab- bilge juice mix together and can be easily filtered, and substances such 35 11111060115. Dus. or b10011 are read- ily recogrTlzed; .

The amount of work done by the stomach and the stomach juice can be estimated.
